Synopsis
This essential guide to a healthy back presents potentially technical information in an accessible, informative manner. Arming the reader with a clear understanding of the anatomy of the spine, the author also suggests a series of exercises essential for strengthening the muscles and structures that support the vertebral column. Superbly illustrated, with clear, full-colour step-by-step sequences, the book also provides an overview of the importance of posture including common posture faults, exercises to improve deviations from the ideal alignment, and the correct posture for a variety of day-to-day activities. It touches on common back problems and includes a chapter on a wide range of therapies and practitioners that focus on back treatments in particular.
